Still wiping tears away.

Wow, what a sweet, sad, story. As one who farmed a few years, I know animals think and feel and love. I was one who spoiled them all rotten. lol. They would follow me anywhere, and always came from the pasture when I went to get them to take them to the barn when a storm was coming. I would walk along singing a song, and they would line up single-file and follow me all the way into the barn so I could close them in to keep them safe during the storm. I would also give the sows a hug when I went to feed them, they would have their heads up there for their hug. Animals can teach people a lot about love.

What a story. Like Barbara, we can learn so much from our animals. Mam felt sadness and pain from losing her babies!! They know what's going on!!!! Thanks, Cher for this story.

This mama cow is not just loving but clever also. My hybred wolf was
spaded at a young age but she wanted to be a mama too. So strongly were
her motherly instincts that she mothered our cat's kittens. She would inspect each one as they came through the door from outside. Smelling, sniffing them and if they were injured she would hold them down and lick their wounds, much to the dismay of the kittens. For her Loving ways and veterinary exams she was granted the title "Mom/Dr.Sasha". The sweetest pet I ever had.
Thank you Cher ~

OMG......this is heart braking, so very sad. I just don't get it. How could that farmer have been so heartless??????????? I do not eat meat but I stopped eating veal long belong I stopped meat altogether. I was just a child when I found out what veal really was and then I wondered what kind of person could eat that and do that to animals. This story is so upsetting.

noted, thanks for sharing - very sweet

thank you Cher, animals are awesome!!!

Friday April 13, 2012, 6:22 pm
How is it that not everyone sees the decision that that cow made. Why is it that we decide that just because their animals they have no feeling and they will get over it. Apparently she didn't. I feel her pain.

I wish I hadn't read even part of this story.

I must learn to refuse to allow such into my mind.

I can fight the abuse without becoming a victim of it.

Friday April 13, 2012, 6:49 pm
always knew this...thanks for sharing Cher

Noted and thanks Cher for sharing this

I just don't understand how people turn away from this information and continue using dairy products. I would love to see this story aired on a nation wide commercial to protest animal cruelty.

Friday April 13, 2012, 7:01 pm
I've no interest in knowing people I've come across who don't believe or had the experience of knowing that all animals are capable of loving, whether it's their offspring or the humans they become attached to

Friday April 13, 2012, 7:12 pm
Thank you for posting this story. And thank you to all the great comments here. Chocked. Yes, Patricia, yes.

Friday April 13, 2012, 7:13 pm
That's the problem. Animals have developed emotions. They don't forget abuse.
They are willing to serve people and be loyal to them and in return for all their
kindness they get to live in HELL! You tell me one description of hell that doesn't fit the world of abusedf animals.

They are intelligent, emotional and have every qualification for the souls of saints.

Yet here they are living in hell.

there is no love like a mothers.
No matter what species.

the love for his son is the first proven fact, but the intelligence to hide the second calf and respect for her factor and bringing him the first calf, where we let them?

Clearly animals are capable of love and tenderness what a shame that we don't always show the same emotions toward them.

Saturday April 14, 2012, 6:06 am
This is something I have always innately knew about animals. That they are living, breathing, thinking, feeling beings. That they are utterly amazing & deserve our compassion & respect. Thanks or sharing this one Cher, warms the heart. Albeit bitter-sweet!

Saturday April 14, 2012, 6:09 am
Thank-you Cher for the awesome story..I too am still a little blurry eyed....

Saturday April 14, 2012, 8:10 am
Cher, once in a while it is good to hear stories of incredible care and love without signing a petition to gain care and love for all living things on the planet. With pleasure noted

Saturday April 14, 2012, 8:34 am
thanks

Saturday April 14, 2012, 9:13 am
Noted. Very sad & very heartbreaking, indeed. This really does show that animals do think, feel & love as we do. Thank you so much for sharing this, Cher.

Poor poor girl. Smart too. So heart breaking how humans are soooo blind and discompassionate to the animal world. Thanks Cher :*(

Saturday April 14, 2012, 2:55 pm
I am sitting here crying (no, BAWLING) my eyes out! Thank you for sharing this. I appreciate having stories to show my circle of friends and family that irrefutably demonstrate an animal's intelligence and emotion.

Saturday April 14, 2012, 3:40 pm
I'm sorry, who ever doubted that animal do any of these things. OH, humans. It makes it easier to eat them.

Saturday April 14, 2012, 3:58 pm
Who refuses to acknowledge that all beings think, feel, love and need love?
The entire Life Force is one ... all sentient beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.

Saturday April 14, 2012, 4:31 pm
Great story .Thanks

Saturday April 14, 2012, 6:28 pm
My speech professor was wrong, Animals do not need treats or rewards to "learn Love" . When God created them He was in them too. He is a part of all creation. I bet He cried too. I hope they sell her to someone who will let her have a calf. Dail

Thank you.

ALL animals have emotion and feel pain. Cruel farmer - no compassion. Greed.
Wonderful mommy cow !

Monday April 16, 2012, 7:43 am
Animals have souls. I do not care what any 'religion' says. If there are no animals in so-called 'Heaven'....I know I don't want to go there. Rather be in so-called 'Hell' with all the animals than in a Heaven with only people. They have souls, they feel, they think, they reason and they do one ting better than any person...they all love unconditionally.

Friday April 20, 2012, 3:55 am
But then they took and killed the calf anyway. How depressing.

thanks Cher, wonderful.
